Mr.. Clemens MARK Twain), it
seems, is becoming offended because
of the vast number of congratulations
which shower upon him because he
has attained his fiftieth birthday.
" / do not see what | have DONE"
he says, "to have so many enemies.
| have never congratulated person
on being fifty years of age. 1t is
true have shot at people in the
dark when | have had something un-
usual against them, but | have drawn

ALREADY two knock down argu-
mcuts have taken place in Little
Rock since the assembling of the
Legislature. Prof. Mitchell, editor
of the Little Rock Democrat, who
on being called liar by Judge c,
+. Mitchell, OF Drew county, very
promptly knocked the Judge eend
over eend. The trouble grew out of
the publication of a series of articles
by the Professor which ruilled the
downy feathers of his Cousin FL.
more. The other was between the
Speaker of the House, Mr.. j. NJ.
Hewitt, of Lee, and DIR. Christman,
of Pulaski, the latter having circulat-
ed report, pending the election of
Speaker, to the effect that Mr.. Hewitt
had commanded negro regiment
during the war, with the view Of in
juring his prospects of election. On
meeting him after his election, Mr..
Hewitt asked him if he was the au-
thor of the report, and receiving no
denial, his silence was accepted as
an admission, and he was also laid
out la Queensbury rule. Altogeth-
er the present session of the leeisla-
tnre bids fair to be interesting in
more ways than one.

The governor recommends a lib

The governor recommends a lih-
eral appropriation to the Industrial
University and says that the good
faith of the state as well as a sound
public policy demands that we should
give that institution a hearty sup
port. He also urges the liberal sup
gort of the normal branch at Pine
Bluff.
On the subject of mortgages he
suggests that law limiting the right
of mortgaging, especially the mort
gaging of implanted crops, so pro-
ductive of evil, would be beneficial.
He sensibly remarks that the evils of
the mortgage system might be mtl-
gated by lesssning the amount Of
property exempt from sale upon ex-
ecution.
The message is mature, well con-
sidered paper, abounding in many
excellent suggestions. 1t will be
read with great interest by the peo-
pie ut large"

The anti-polygamy bill, which
passed the House Wednesday, be-
cause it is very sweeping, has the un-

of Utah, not Mormans, and also that

ablest lawyers in America 1t pro-
vides for the registration of all mar

riage law in Utah. 1t abolishes wo-
man sufierage in the Territory; pre-
scribes that husband and wife shall
be competent to testify against each
other, but shall not be compell-

a secret ballot, and deprives the Ter

divorce cases. 1t makes polygamisis
ineligible to vote and exacts an oath
that the voter will obey all United

ARKANSAS GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

The twenty-sixth general assem-
bly, of Arkansas convened Monday
and both houses were called to order
at noon. A full membership was
present both in the senate and the
house, and the proceedings in each
house were quiet and free of excite
ment. There were large crowds pres
ent in the galleries and the lobbies,
among which were many ladies. Iu
the senate Hon. ID. Il. Barker, of the
Seventeenth district, composed Of
Drew and Ashley counties, was elect.
ed president, and Mr.. John Holland
of White county was unanimously
reelected Secretary. Hon. John NJ
Baxter, ex member of the last house,
was elected sergeant-atarms. Con-
siderable time was spent in discuss
ing the question of consolidating the
offices of door-keeper and postmas-
ter, which was finally agreed to.
Miss Sibbie Lewis was elected en-
grossinL clerk and Miss Jean Lough-
borough enrolling clerk. Rev. Frank
White chaplain.
In the house, Mr.. Halliburton of
Arkansas county was elected tempo-
rary speaker and r. w. Worthen of
Pulaski was appointed temporary
sergeant-at-arms. The entire day
was taken up in balloting for speak.
er, aud II ballots were had resulting
in very little change.
John NJ. Hewitt of Lee was elect
ed Speaker of the house on the twen-
ty-first ballot, by vote of 81 to II
for Hudgins.
j. w. Galloway was elected clerk
and J. w. Howell assistant clerk.
Miss Anns Pettigrew was elected
engrossIng clerk and Miss Lillian
Eakin enrolling clerk Exchange.
The army of candidates for clerk
pages, doorkeepcr, chaplain, post
master, &c, was almost innumerable,
and as they were not furnished with
free passes, the railroads did IA good
passenger business, Notwithstanding
quite a large force returned home on
foot.

A RESOLUTION introduced by our
representative, Hon. II. 7. Blythe
which was backed by an able argu-
ment in advocacy of its adoption,
had the effect Of dra wing out all the
oratory of the House, and its discus
sion consumed the greater portion of
an entire day. The resolution was
in effect IN the event of the refund
ing by the u. S. Government of the
Illegally collected cotton tax, soon
after the war, the portion due the
citizens Of Arkansas, be appropria-
ted one half to the support or bene-
fit Of the public schools, and the
other half to leveeing the Mississippi
river on the states front. The views
ELECTED by the discussion of the res
olution, were in many cases, novel
and ingenious, and in a manner in
terestiug to the student Of political
economy, presenting as it did a sort
of a panoramic view of the kaliedo-
scope degrees of craftsmanship, to-
gether with their methods of reasWi-
ing and summing up conclusions.
In the multitude of counsel, wisdom
at last prevailed, and as in the cele-
bratcd decision of the kitchen CO
numdrum in regard to the best mode
of cooking a possum, ii was decided
to wait until tie state got the money.
But what we started to say is, if
those smart fellows who were luke
warm in their support Of Bro. Blythe
on the ground that he was too old
fogysh, aud would never receive
recognition from the speaker, will
just be quiet and keep their cara
picked, they will hear from the old
man now and then.

1HE MIssA.r.

The following review of the Gov
ernor's message to the Arkansas leg
stature, (the mes age itself being
too lengthy toa our spacc,) we clip
from the Arkansas Democrat:
"The message of Gov. Hughes
read before the legislature to-day is
an able and comprehensive docu-
ment. After referring in detail to the
several departmental reports and
calling attention to the recommends
tons contained in them, he proceeds
to present his own views in regard to
matters which he deems necessary to
the welfare of the State. Chief among
his recommendations is an agricult-
ural aud mining bureau, the import
ance of which he urges in no uncer.
tain terms. In this connection he
says that the time has arrived when
Arkansas ought to arolse to the i'm
portance of pressing forward in the
development and upbuilding of her
material resources" He lays it down
as wise economy to eypend money
for the State in a prudent and prop
er way. The Governor, in discuss.
ing the railroad question, takes the
ground that the plain and impera-
tive provisions of the constitution
are quite sufficient, if supplemented
by proper Legislation to prevent all
unjust determinations by railroad
corporations. He takes the CORE, t
ground when he SAYS that the rights
aud welfare of the people are in
volved and "we cannot shrink from
the performance of duty because its
performance is attended with diff
Guilty"
On the subject of taxation of rail-
roads the governor is moderate and
conservative, but firm in demanding
the equality of taxation of property,
whether belonging to persons or
corporations.
On the free pass issue he is with
the Democrat, and says that the con-
stitution "requires that the general
assembly shall prevent by law the
granting of free passes by any rail-
road or transportation company"
and he therefore recommends that an
act be passed prohibiting the same
under proper penalties.
lie urges the legislature to cali
upon our senators and representa-
tives IN congress to use their best eff
forts to procure tn" passage Of the
bill for the distribution Of the cotton
tax which amounts to 4GS, 600, 600.
